DLSU Seminar on Research Publication in Education
We would like to invite you and our colleagues in Ateneo to join us in the forthcoming DLSU SEMINAR ON RESEARCH PUBLICATION IN EDUCATION. I believe that the lectures -- to be given by the Editor-in-Chief as well as the Associate Editors of THE ASIA-PACIFIC EDUCATION RESEARCHER (TAPER) -- concerning education, educational psychology, and research publication in top tier journals (i.e., ISI-listed) will be of interest to your colleagues.

St. Louis Catholic Archives Visiting Research Grant 2024
The Center for Research on Global Catholicism (CRGC) at Saint Louis University is delighted to announce the 2024 St. Louis Catholic Archives Visiting Research Grant.
The grant offers two scholars up to $3000 per year to defray costs connected with conducting research at participating archives:
- Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet Consolidated Archives
- St. Louis Visitation Archives
- Archdiocesan Archives of St. Louis
- Saint Louis University Archives
The St. Louis Catholic Archives Collective (SCAC) is an initiative partnering the Center for Research on Global Catholicism at SLU with archivists at multiple independent local Catholic archives to increase the visibility and accessibility of their collections, particularly those collections that illuminate the histories of women religious. Researchers pursuing projects that would benefit from the rich resources of the SCAC archives are invited to apply. Projects that focus on women's religion are especially encouraged. We welcome applications from academics of all ranks and disciplines, independent researchers, students 18 years and older, genealogists, and others.
Worldwide Cancer Research Discovery Research Grants
Our goal is to support research that seeks to answer the difficult questions in cancer biology. We are looking for innovative and truly novel ideas that have the potential to revolutionise our understanding of cancer and how to beat it.
We award project grants of 12 to 36 months in length to support basic, fundamental or translational research into the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of cancer. We do not prioritise any field of research within this; we welcome research that draws on epidemiological, behavioural and clinical data to provide a starting point for a new avenue of research. Multidisciplinary or discipline-hopping projects are encouraged where this helps stimulate innovation.
The research described in your application should be a discrete, hypothesis-driven project, achievable within the duration of the support requested. Do not describe a large programme of work - for example the work of your entire laboratory - and then request a contribution towards it - for example funding one member of the laboratory or part of the consumable costs.
Please see our Research Strategy and application handbook for more details.

Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA) Grant 2025
OCRA runs one grant cycle each year. Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are issued the first quarter of every year. We use a two step application and peer review process. Letters of Intent (LOIs) are due in early spring and undergo a rigorous peer review by our Scientific Advisory Committee. After LOI review, a subset of those applicants are invited to submit full proposals. Final grant notifications are made in the fall. (This timeline is subject to change.)
The review process—including all meeting deliberations, scores and written critiques of proposals, as well as other materials provided for the review of proposals—is confidential. A confidentiality and conflict-of-interest statement must be signed by each reviewer. Grants for projects selected through this process are then made to non-profit medical institutions on behalf of individual investigators or project directors. Please note that due to the small size of the OCRA staff and Scientific Advisory Committee, we are not able to provide feedback to applicants on their LOIs or Full Proposals.
